If the lines are *exactly* as you say, you can do with commands like
these:
syntax match Trace "^.*\[TRACE\].*$"
hi Trace ctermfg=yellow
In the last one, you will probably use guifg instead of ctermfg.

You can see the whole lot of syntax files provided with vim, and the
help: ":help hi" and ":help syntax". The help is very good and detailed,
with examples. Fortunately, you needs are very simple and easy to do.
If you encounter any problem doing the syntax, you can post here a
more or less detailed explanation of the syntax and I'll try to write
the syntax file for you.
